I think the 90% Christian majority of the Philippines understand and share the feelings of the Sabahans. Middle age Filipinos had the felling of connectivity towards the Sabahans for the Philippine history dictates the historical connection and experiences. If Sabah chose to be part of the Philippines, then their interest will be well protected and respected. The Philippine government is the bastion of democracy in Asia and the Filipinos knows it by heart. It is said the majority of the Christian Sabahans are fearful of the mass immigration if Sabah would be integrated to the Philippines, will that fear is unfounded, the Philippine government respect diversity and would surely protect the interest and right of its citizens. Like the Christian Filipino, Christian Sabahans will also enjoy the same, and be protected to the fullest extent of the law. Christian Sabahans should not be fearful to their brother Filipinos; they are the same and have shared the same in time and space. Let lost that fear, look forward for the brighter future!

Spartly Island is not completely owned by Philippines the Philippines is only protecting the 9 islands against invaders and one of those island contains oil and gas and the china think it is unfair so they are trying to claim it

note: as you can see all Islamic country has a oil (middle east) Philippines is a Islamic country before but it became christian when the Spaniards came and also there are oil and gas in mindanao Philippines that Islam people are protecting it but the government doesnt know this yet

Sabah and Spratly island The Spanish was forced to sell the Philippines to America for 20 million dollars when they learned that the USA has far superior battleship and …ammunition against their wooden Galleon's during the battle of Manila bay. The Spanish crafted the Treaty of Paris and put the technical description covering all the archipelago including the Sulu group of islands. The Treaty of Paris has put the USA in jeopardy by signing the one sided Treaty in favor of Spain. The setback was later found by the USA, but it was too late because according to the Treaty the USA has to protect whatever Spain or any of their relatives owned within the Philippines, not realizing that the whole archipelago land has almost land titled to the five main groups of religious order. This practically meant the USA bought nothing but the political administration only because they are strongly opposed by Aguinaldo in Phil American war, until they give independence to the Philippines, due to costly war in the Philippines. The sale under the Treaty of Paris is illegal because Spain included the Sulu Kingdom which they never defeated in war. The war protocol prohibit to include any territory which is not conquered or defeated and not part of the spoils of war. When Philippine Republic was formed, Sulu Kingdom was included for in fact the inclusion to the sale is only Luzon and Visayas. Mindanao and Sulu Kingdom is not included because the Spanish failed to conquer the Sulu Kingdom. During the time of president Macapagal , the Philippine government was given authority to claim Sabah in bahalf of the Sultanate of Sulu but failed until it was revoked in 1989. It is clear therefore that the Philippines has no more authority over Sabah and Spratly island. The owner of Sabah and Spratly is the Royal Sulu and North Borneo kingdom. The current and legitimate Sultan is his HRH Sultan Esmail D. Kiram (www.sulu.gov.pH). The problem of the kingdom is apparent between Malaysia and Philippines since the kingdom now is traditional rather than political, both Malaysia and Philippines were playing fire not to recognize the traditional governance of the Sultanate for fear to escalate as a political power. Malaysia and Philippines has clamped the economic capacity of the kingdom via proprietary property. This has been solved by the current hierarchy by appointing a private company in Hongkong, to undertake the total administration and management of the said proprietary property of the kingdom. Neither Malaysia nor the Philippines can manipulate the Hongkong Company politically since it is now in a neutral ground. His Royal Highness Sultan Esmail D. Kiram has given a "Decree and Authority to the Hongkong Company to fast track the implementation of the 1939 High Court of North Borneo Ruling to Audit and Inventory the property of the Kingdom in Sabah as well as the property in the Philippines..(www.sultanatesulu.org) The issue of legitimate Sultan is now overdue because the political manuever behind to pay many sultans of Sulu and North Borneo, to make it appear chaotic is finished. Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo has only one Sultan from the hierarchy. The legitimate Sultan has to become a Maharajah Adinda first then Rajah Muda before he assume the Sultan Proper. None among claiming Sultans has become Maharajah Adinda and Rajah Muda, they claimed straight forward from the lineage the position without undergoing to the process of unbroken hierarchy to the throne. The Sultan chooses his Rajah Mudah, the Rajah Muda chooses his Maharajah Adinda, therefore before becoming a Sultan , he has to pass through the process of being a Maharajah Adinda to Rajah Muda then to Sultan proper. This eliminates the fake and bogus sultans. (www.wiki.answer.com) who is the Sultan of Sulu and North Borneo ?

Supposedly, the Philippines will not claim the Spratly Islands because it is within the Philippine waters. But other countries claim it and those countries claiming it are… giants so the Philippines don't have any other choice than to contest instead of just giving an order to move out from the Philippine Territory. The disputed Spratlys are within the Philippine Waters. The Philippines is the legal owner of the islands in the Spratlys as it is within the 200 Nautical Mile Exclusive Economic Zone according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)

Sabah is part of the Philippine terretory as stated in the Grade IV book used by our elementary students right now. Teaching our children of this claim, it should be exercise …by our government (Philippine) so for them to have faith in our system. Damb it! People in the southern part of the Philippines were fighting for ancestral domain yet they are not fighting for their right of SABAH. Why not start fighting in Sabah to regain it? Sometimes War is necessary to expedite the matter then may be later discuss it in proper. Because the Muslims who leased it always prefer to do transactions with co-muslims. Religion always have a role in this so conflicts of interests can't be resolved. The international law should disregard such transaction and respect the Phillipine's rights to its territory. Clearly, the international law is still being blind folded by pathetic excuses of religion and tradition.

Because logically the Sabah is rightfully in the Philippine territory. It was just LEASED by Muslims residing in there who always love to claim things as their own regardless …of whatever legal rights of the country. It can also be linked to religion since Muslims always prefer to do any transactions with their co-Muslims for the sake of their ever-discriminating leg god allah's Islam. Religion and World power's influences will always play a big role in this dispute however, no matter how they claim whether be cultural or traditional reasonings, the rights should be to the Philippines and the international law should stop playing blind about this matter.

Spratly and Sabah Islands are two territories claimed by Philippines. Spratly is a group of 52 Islands of which only seven are occupied by Philippines. Sabah islands are a… disputed territory between Malaysia and Philippines and are presently occupied by Malaysia.

Malaysia did not have interest in the spratlys, But when the philippines started exploring the island and found gas and oil resserve malaysian goverment suddenly had inter…est is spratlys. If your going to ask me How did the Philippines claim Spratly and Sabah Islands? Answer: I think the 90% Christian majority of the Philippines understand and share the feelings of the Sabahans. Middle age Filipinos had the felling of connectivity towards the Sabahans for the Philippine history dictates the historical connection and experiences. If Sabah chose to be part of the Philippines, then their interest will be well protected and respected.

It is said the majority of the Christian Sabahans are fearful of the mass immigration if Sabah would be integrated to the Philippines, will that fear is unfounded, the Philippine government respect diversity and would surely protect the interest and right of its citizens.

Christian Sabahans should not be fearful to their brother Filipinos; they are the same and have shared the same in time and space. Let lost that fear, look forward for the brighter future! Spartly Island is not completely owned by Philippines the Philippines is only protecting the 9 islands against invaders and one of those island contains oil and gas and the china think it is unfair so they are trying to claim it note: as you can see all Islamic country has a oil (middle east) Philippines is a Islamic country before but it became christian when the Spaniards came and also there are oil and gas in mindanao Philippines that Islam people are protecting it but the government doesnt know this yet. Malaysia is currently profiting out of sabah which is part of the philippines if I were the sabahan I would have joined the philippines instead,but I dont blame them they were tricked into voting against the Philippines. local Sabahan's illiteracy where exploited into voting against the Philippines. And if your going to ask me if Why Malaysia keeps holding Sabah if not belong to them? Answer: Malaysia has seen what the British has done and so they imitate to grab the opportunity when they got their independence from the British empire in 1963. Peninsular government of Malaysia slowly edge to make it appear Sabah is part of Malaysia by appointing interim administration and change the name from North Borneo to Sabah in a blink of an eye. It was also clear to the Malaysian Constitution that Sabah is a partner rather than a member state of Malaysia. It was also clear that Sabah is only interim member state. Sabah is now currently contributing 30% to the whole economy of Malaysia. From this standpoint, simple calculations will give us at least US$12 billion dollars generated income annually. Malaysia has all the reason to hold Sabah ,a merely US$1,500 dollars rental to Sabah since 1963 is being paid by Malaysia. In short, the only capitalization involved is the rental versus billion dollar earning every year, Is that not enough reason to hold Sabah? It was said that Malaysia is continually muddling the traditional leadership of the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo by paying fake sultans among the relatives to the throne, to make it appear that squabble is there to reason out that they do not know who is the genuine sultan of whom Sabah will return. There is also rumors that even the past and present administrations of the the Philippine government is continually secretly receiving dole out money from Malaysia in condition not to interfere or help the now traditional governance of the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo. And also if your going to ask me Why Malaysia says they own Sabah? Answer: The basis of Malaysia in owning Sabah is based on Landgrabbing Principle employed by the British government. The original lessee is a private british company, British North Borneo Company. The British government has signed a 'Friendship Treaty ' to the Sultanate kingdom .The British government broke the Treaty of Friendship when they absorbed the lease of which they are not an entity to the 'Lease Contract of 1878" and clearly stipulates the non transferrability. Malaysia followed this suit by absorbing the same when they got their independence in 1963 - If the modern world cannot understand this then let us live like a hypocrites and forget the Omnipotent creator that we all believe., whether Allah, God or Yahweh.The Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo now is politically diminished but not culturally and traditionally. the history never lie only the Spanish and American people who wrote the historical hoax of the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo Kingdom to achieve their colonizations. And also if your going to ask me if Is Sabah part of Malaysia? Answer: Sabah and Sarawak is legally not a part of Federal Malaysia based on conditional partnership they agreed when Peninsular Malaysia become Federated in 1963. The 3 major reason for Sabah and Sarawak to join in partner with Federal is Military , Monetary and Taxation. Sabah and Sarawak has partnered with Federal Malaysia based on 20 point agreement, their own State Constitution separate from Federal Constitution. The 20 point agreement has been forged prior to Sabah and Sarawak association to Federal Malaysia . Being a partner to the Federation does not mean to become a state of Malaysia. This is very clear that separate State of Sabah and Sarawak Constitution is in place. unlike the Peninsular Malaysia that all covers by Federal Constitution. The conditional partnership of Sabah and Sarawak cannot be contituted as full member of the Peninsular Federation of Malaysia. Sabah and Sarawak can at anytime decide if they still want to be a part of the Federal Malaysia through partnership by simply passing a law by the State Government annulling the partnership. This is the point of view by State MP's to segregate because the federal is abusive of the Financial allocation exercise over the two State. Sabah and sarawak combined contribute 60% of Malaysian economy and yet they only receive 5% of the total economic contributions to those two state. Sabah and Sarawak has their own rights, religions and land laws , they pay in return a tribute to Federal Malaysia in return of providing the Military and Monetary by paying excessive Taxation. The philippines can sustain sabah militarily and financialy

Up to present, Malaysia is still renting Sabah to Philippines. Yes, the Philippines can get it back because it legally belongs to the Sultanate of Sulu (Philippines). The Best… way for the Philippine government to claim it back is improve first its Economy. Make the Philippine economy more than enough to support and for the Sabahans and Sarawakans to be happy to go back and be united again with their Muslims brothers and Christian neighbours in Mindanao.

According to my extensive research, NO ONE own the Spratly Islands, but the Chinese dynasty during year 200 AD claim it and saying those part of the Island are belongs to them…. In addition, Chinese dynasty named this island "Nansha Island." This island was not Spratly back since 1791 Captain Spratle name under his name. For sure, China never own Spratley Island, but more relatively (but not really, its close) own Philippine government..

The Philippines base their claims of sovereignty over the Spratlys on theissues of res nullius. The definition of res nullius is "A thing which has no owner or A thing which h…as been abandoned by its owner is as much res nullius as if it had never belonged to any one
